Sides and front elevations are done!

Well in just 11 days, the brick layers and stone masons are done and we are totally thrilled with how it looks. We are in the process of designing the 'keystone' with 149 engraved for just over the archway and then all will be complete on the outside. Next will be concrete for the basement and garage, more electronics wiring, our stairs being delivered and installed, insulation and drywall. Stay tuned!

Bricking has started!

With the rough in for plumbing and electrical done, the brick work has started and in just two days, the rear elevation is done! We expect to be done all brick and stone in 2-3 weeks and then onto the finishing inside.

Shingles on as we move inside ...

The roofers have done all they can until the brick and stone are done so the guys have moved inside. This week our geo venting 'rough-in' was finished, the plumber is doing the rough-ins, the concrete for the porch and side walk-way is being poured and we did our electrical design. Interesting that the sun tunnels we are installing in the closets are no more than a flimsy foil coil - why didn't I think of that!
